Los Angeles Rams delay travel to Australia for upcoming season opener

The Los Angeles Rams will delay their departure for Melbourne, Australia, until shortly before their season-opening game. While the San Francisco 49ers plan to arrive early to adjust to the new environment and travel, head coach Sean McVay maintains that staying in Los Angeles preserves the health and routine of his roster. Key players, including Davante Adams, have expressed preference for keeping their local support systems and family environments intact for as long as possible before the long-distance trip. The Rams management emphasizes that resources for recovery and body work are superior at their home base. This approach follows a successful international record for McVay, who remains undefeated in three international games.
